Under the Sand / int_bec0417c	comment	Happily Married: Marie was happily married to Jean. Whether Jean was happy too is questioned. The whole movie is a Deconstruction of the trope, because it shows that, even if you are happily married, you might not be aware of the true feelings of your spouse (so much so, as not to realize that he is Driven to Suicide). It also demonstrates how bad you feel when your spouse disappears.
